[Verse 1]
Am7 Dm7
Swipe the last drop of rain from the windshield, The clouds start to part over head
Am7 Dm7
My eyes ache after so long in darkness, After years in my spartan bed
F Em7 Am
Curse the sun, I can't outrun the ghosts of my dead
Am7 Dm7
Growing restless in my old chevy/ Chew my tongue like a stick of gum
Am7 Dm7
Oh how I'm dreading the dredging of past days, too many years spent on the run
F Em7 Am
Never stop, never slow, run from the places where I bled
[Chorus]
C A#
I follow this trail of rainbows to the end of the road
Am Dm7 F Em7
Until I arrive at last at the last place that I would call my home
[Solo]

[Verse 2]
Am7 Dm7
If absence makes the heart grow fonder then I ain't been gone long enough
Am7 Dm7
I Look around at the desolate wasteland, a shattered diamond in the rough
F Em7 Am
No delay/just hell to pay/ for the songs I left unsung
[Chorus]
C A#
And these rainbows won’t be keeping me down
Am Dm7 F Em7
I can promise you now that those rabid dogs won’t be stickin’ around
[Solo]

[Verse 3]
Am7 Dm7
Pay attention to the words of wisdom Sturm and Drang for the common man
Am7 Dm7
Forget what Connie's been telling the good guys The reason you got feet is to stand
F Em7 Am
Never Stop, straight ahead, never listen to what the book says
[Chorus]
C A#
So I follow the trail of rainbows to the end of the road
Am Dm7 F Em7
there aint' no pot of gold but I might get what I'm owed
C A#
I can't dry the thunderclouds, but maybe I can stop the rain
Am Dm7 F Em7
just keep my head above the water, these rainbows can't bring no pain
[Outro]
Am7 Dm7
Oh these
F Em7 Am
